After bidding farewell to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Lan, he immediately used his divine power to go to the secret chamber of the Crown Prince's residence.

The dark, secret room was empty.

As space distorted, Ye Qiu's figure appeared here. The gentle light from the luminous pearl embedded in the ceiling shone on him, and his blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings.

He sat down at the stone table in the middle and waited quietly for Qian Renxue to arrive. She would come in to cultivate almost every night.

Knock knock...

Looking at the entrance to the secret room, Ye Qiu's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, and his expression gradually became calm.

After asking around, he learned that Ning Rongrong still planned to head towards Soto City.

Things seem to be unfolding as they originally appeared.

That also means that Xiao Wu will appear in Soto City at the same time, along with Zhu Zhuqing, and... Tang San and his son!

"Phew~" Ye Qiu let out a long sigh of relief, but couldn't help frowning. Things seemed to be a bit difficult!

Although the course of events had not deviated from his understanding, Ye Qiu was naturally somewhat happy, as it meant that there were still many areas where he could manipulate things.

However, this also brought some trouble.

I definitely need to go to Soto City, but my presence will inevitably connect me with Xiao Wu and the others, and will also attract Tang Hao's attention...

Should we use biomimicry?

Da da...

While Ye Qiu was still deep in thought, a series of footsteps came from the secret passage at the entrance of the secret room, neither hurried nor slow.

Before he could even see her, Qian Renxue's cold voice had already reached Ye Qiu's ears.

"Didn't you say you were going to hunt souls today and wouldn't have time to train with me? What's wrong? Did something go wrong?"

Ye Qiu snapped out of his daze and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Her long golden hair and stunningly beautiful face made her stand out even in the dimly lit room.

A pair of long, shapely legs, along with that proud figure, were walking towards him step by step.

Even before entering the secret room, Qian Renxue had already sensed Ye Qiu's arrival.

As soon as she stepped into the secret room, a golden halo appeared around her, and she returned to her original form.

Only in this secluded room could she shed this awful pretense.

"I'm asking you something!"

Not receiving a response from Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue frowned slightly and sat down opposite him at the stone table.

"It went very smoothly, you've successfully broken through to Soul Master!" Ye Qiu stopped pondering and looked straight at her.

"Oh!" Qian Renxue nodded calmly, then picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and slowly pushed them in front of Ye Qiu.

"Since everything went smoothly, why do you look so preoccupied?"

"I'm wondering...when are you going to fulfill the conditions you promised me?"

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and the sweet taste on his tongue calmed his inner turmoil, but his eyes never left Qian Renxue.

Why are you suddenly in such a hurry?

Seeing Ye Qiu's serious expression, Qian Renxue was somewhat puzzled.

She could easily get in touch with Dugu Yan, one of the members of the Royal Fighting Team.

During this time, through the observations of the Porcupine and the Serpent Spear on the training ground, Dugu Yan had become fully aware of her possession of the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years Realm.

Based on the timing of Dugu Yan's breakthrough and Ye Qiu's appearance, Qian Renxue could deduce many things...

But according to the information she gathered, none of his women seem to need to acquire new spirit rings right now, right?

Driven by curiosity, Qian Renxue quickly suppressed the doubt in her eyes and chuckled as she sipped the fragrant tea in her hand.

He looked at Ye Qiu with great interest, his words carrying a hint of probing.

"I'm really curious to know what you're going to do with this? Could it be... for Dugu Yan?"

Hearing her words, Ye Qiu frowned. Dugu Yan's fourth ring of ten thousand years was indeed impossible to hide, but Qin Ming should have already given a gag order in the Royal Fighting Team!

Realizing that the other party had investigated him and Dugu Yan, Ye Qiu's tone became somewhat unfriendly.

"Why do you care so much? Just give me the things."

Bang! The teacup in my hand was slammed down on the table, splashing a few drops of water.

Qian Renxue's expression turned cold. Seeing Ye Qiu's attitude, she felt a surge of anger for some reason.

Apart from that crazy woman, no one has ever dared to speak to her like that!

"Hmph! You think I want to interfere?"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her face flushed with a mixture of anger and shyness, as she glared at Ye Qiu.

"If you weren't still of some use to me, I would have torn you to pieces long ago, just for the fact that you've offended me so many times!"

Although their postures during cultivation had changed a long time ago, accidents still frequently occurred when they embraced face to face before that.

Aside from those minor bumps and bruises, there were many other times when Qian Renxue was bewitched by Ye Qiu's eyes and did some outrageous things, such as throwing herself into his arms.

"Those were just accidents...and I already warned you beforehand!"

Faced with her accusing gaze, Ye Qiu turned her head away to avoid it.

"An accident!? Heh... So should I thank you for remaining unmoved? And thank you for your apologies every time you're done enjoying yourself?"

Qian Renxue sneered. She knew Ye Qiu, who frequented several women every day, very well. He occasionally exuded two different scents.

Whenever she recalled the scene of her pinning Ye Qiu down with her clothes disheveled, and felt the slight heat rising in her body, she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Furthermore, your martial soul... I'm sure you know its composition without me having to explain, right?"

She looked at Ye Qiu with a mocking expression. How could she, who had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, not realize why she was acting strangely?

It was precisely because of Ye Qiu's lewd and improper eyes!

"Yes! It was definitely my fault! I'm sorry..."

Ye Qiu put down his teacup, nodded calmly, and when he instinctively wanted to apologize, he remembered what she had just said, frowned and swallowed his words back.

He then looked straight at her.

"I don't want to argue with you anymore. I just want to know when I can get my things?"

The two looked at each other, Ye Qiu's eyes were relatively calm, without much emotion.

Speaking of which, during this month or so of cultivation...

Aside from some physical contact, he and Qian Renxue didn't have much interaction.

On the contrary, they almost came to blows after several training sessions, which resulted in the secret room being repaired and even expanded several times.

A cold glint flashed in Qian Renxue's golden eyes, and her jade-like hand under the table clenched into a fist.

'You damn fool! This time you couldn't even be bothered to apologize!'

Gritting her teeth, she suppressed the urge to reward him with an Angel Strike.

She definitely couldn't hand the things over to Ye Qiu right now, otherwise how would she explain the lie she'd made?

"Hmph! Since you're in such a hurry, I'll urge them on for you and try to get it delivered in the next few days..."

"Okay! In that case... then I'll trouble you!"

Hearing her reply, Ye Qiu's emotions calmed down considerably. Just to be on the safe side, he looked at her again and added a sentence.

"I hope what you're saying is true..."

Completely unaware, the color of his spirit ring had already been revealed.

Qian Renxue had even guessed the secret of his ability to help others obtain spirit rings beyond their age limit.

"Hehe... Don't worry, it will definitely arrive in a few days!" Qian Renxue chuckled unhappily and picked up the teapot beside her.

"Hey, let's have a cup of tea to calm down and then start our cultivation!"

"Ok!"

Qian Renxue poured Ye Qiu another cup of tea, and the two sat quietly by the stone table. After drinking the tea, they went to bed.

On the bed in the secluded room, a lonely man and woman stood back to back.

Feeling the warmth coming from his back, Qian Renxue turned her head slightly and glanced back, only able to see a glimpse of his face.

He then calmed down and gradually entered a state of cultivation.

Outside the Crown Prince's residence, night was falling.

The handsome man and beautiful woman, lying close together on the bed, looked from a distance as if they were wrapped in a golden-red cocoon, with wisps of soul power flowing in and out of their bodies.

Above their heads floated a golden angel phantom with six wings on its back and red eyes tinged with purple, filling the entire secret chamber with a faint golden-red hue.

As time passed, dawn broke on the horizon.

The light that filled the secret room gradually faded and disappeared back into the two people's bodies.

"Whoo~"
